Can the Jag IRS Differential Be "Bottom Mounted"?

[Michael C Henry]

Were two cars ever built the same? That is mostly what I go to car shows for .Too see other Ideas.

[MrWumper]

Tom: Those are good pictures, interesting set up. Do you have your rear anti-roll bar mounted directly to the frame?

Michael: Do you have any pictures of your set up?

I too go to car shows to see other ideas, which reminds me---do any of you know of Cobra "clubs" or shows or anything of the like in the SF Bay Area happening/meeting anytime soon? I would like to take a look at some of their rear suspension set ups.

Also, does anyone know whether or not ALL year and model Jag IRS differentials have the output pinion offset 1" to the right?

[Tom Howland]

MrWumper. Yes that is the sway bar attached to the frame. For a future project I’m going to move it up higher on the frame. Whenever I hit bottom it’s the sway bar bracket.

There is an event this weekend. Nor Cal Shelby club picnic http://www.norcal-saac.org/index.htm in Portola Valley. I’m going plus there would be some other replica’s and originals

The pictured Jag units mount on the top. The front lower "mount" is to prevent axle torque from rotating the diff around the axles. Some cars are mounted solidly to the frame in front, others have rods from the frame to the diff to prevent wrap-up. I second the T-bird diff if you need to bottom mount
